Easy Crochet Hat

Anastasia Popova

Hats are one of my favorite projects to crochet. This hat is easy and quick to make. It is worked from the top down in spiral rounds so there is no need for chaining or joining rounds with slip stitches. The hat starts with four rounds of increases and then is worked straight down. The main stitch used is double crochet stitch and the hat is edged with reverse single crochet. I am using bulky weight yarn so the hat is very quick to make.

Crochet Baby Dress

Anastasia Popova

This is a free crochet pattern for a cute crochet baby dress. I originally designed this dress for Crochet One Skein Wonders Baby Book, but it was sized for newborn and 3 month old only. My almost one year old baby girl really “needed” a crochet dress (yes, I have a problem, I can’t stop crocheting for her ;)), so I sized it up to fit 9-12 month old as well.

The pattern in the book is called Pretty in Pink, p.89.

The dress is worked from the top down. The buttoned front piece makes dressing easier, and the buttons add charm.

I am obsessed with making these adorable octopuses! It is a great take-along project to work on while waiting or riding, etc. I use a smaller hook for the “head” and one size up for the tentacles so that tiny fingers can grab on – for me, the smaller hook made them too tight.

I used this pattern to make several octopi and then contacted the University of Chicago hospital to see if they would accept them. I was referred to the Facebook page mentioned above and found out that they have different, stricter standards for: yarn, hook size, must be made in two parts, and must be stuffed to be very hard, etc. I don’t think my hands can take the stress of making them to those standards, so we are finding other places to donate the ones that my sister-in-law and I made. They are fun to make!
